179887502A Paris: Au Bureau du Journal des Dames Rue Montmartre N° 183 au coin du Boulevart 1798. Fine. Au Bureau du Journal des Dames Rue Montmartre N° 183 au coin du Boulevart A Paris s.d. 1798-1808 10.80 x 17.60 cm 52 planches en feuilles montées sous marie-louise en étui Set of 52 original plates etched and enhanced with watercolours at the time numbered 1 to 52 mounted in pairs under mats. Leaves in red half calf slipcase early 20th century red shagreen boards. The plates vary in size 10.8 x 17.6 cm to 28.1 x 18.8 cm and paper stock as was often the case with La Mésangère's publications. Unbound engraved title on a bifolium printed separately absent from most copies. It is replaced here by its identical reprint by Gosselin 1893-1903 on antique watermarked paper and bears the publisher's 'G' mark characteristic of this reprint a century later. All the plates however are in their first edition without the G mark added by Gosselin to the lower corners of the engravings in the figure or the bowl occasionally accompanied by a date. Some foxing a few rare engravings showing traces of pasted tabs on the reverse. Plate 42 restored without missing. A green stain in plate 11 probably due to the watercolour of the landscape. Twelve plates are trimmed to the plate mark: pl. 12 12.7 x 19.2 cm pl. 15 12.4 x 18.7 cm pl. 19 11.9 x 19.8 cm pl. 29 11.9 x 19 cm pl. 30 12.5 x 19 cm pl. 39 12.1 x 18.4 cm pl. 41 12.5 x 19.1 cm pl. 42 12.5 x 19.1 cm pl. 48 11.9 x 18.3 cm pl. 49 12.9 x 19.9 cm pl. 51 12.5 x 18.4 cm and pl. 52 12 x 18.1 cm. Plate 37 is trimmed around the black border 10.8 x 17.6 cm. More pronounced foxing in the margins of plates 4 28 30 31 35 44 45 and 47. A rare and precious complete suite of 52 original costume prints from the Directoire and First Empire periods. Deemed ""unfindable"" by Gaudriault in his study of women's fashion engravings in France this is the only complete set of first editions currently available. This series of elegant silhouettes was published on the initiative of the bookseller Sellèque and Pierre La Mésangère a clergyman who returned to the press after the turmoil of the Revolution. In 1800 La Mésangère took over the management of the renowned Journal des Dames et des Modes a pioneering publication in the history of the women's press and produced a few standalone series such as this one aimed at 'a category of connoisseurs with an interest in a more refined and luxurious interpretation of fashion than that offered by the plates in the newspapers' Philippe Séguy Histoire des modes sous l'Empire. The plates are the work of Philippe-Louis Debucourt a painter of French elegance since 1787 and a regular contributor to the Journal des Modes. The first 38 date from Year VIII the next 12 from Year IX and the last two from 1808. Through these 52 costumes unfolds a veritable grammar of dress a precious alphabet of the gown and hat - a language in which Parisian women were particularly well versed. Shepherdesses sultanas Etruscan princesses. the trend leaned towards exoticism even eroticism with the occasional bare breast. We find the fashions brought to the fore by the Merveilleuses following the Revolution inspired by Antiquity and mythology - gowns of iridescent muslin light and form-fitting alongside coats bandeau hairstyles and Grecian tunics. The captions accompanying the etchings often provide detailed descriptions of the attire hairstyles and headwear meticulously enhanced with watercolour. Some figures even double as biting social commentary verging on caricature featuring characters such as the ludicrously pretentious Turcaret a recurring theatrical figure since the early 18th century or genre scenes teeming with amorous intrigues. The significance of this series in the history of colour engraving is noteworthy albeit underappreciated by bibliographers. Some plates bear tiny black dots in the margins indicating the process of colour engraving by superimposing intaglio plates. These mark Au Bureau du Journal des Dames, Rue Montmartre, N° 183, au coin du Boulevart hardcover

05714Paris: Chez l'Editeur 1827. The Rarely Seen Parisian Scene <br /> The Rise of the Post-Revolution French Middle Class<br /> Its Customs Costumes and Leisure Activities<br /> <br /> BON GENRE LE. Observations sur les Modes et les Usages de Paris pour Servir d'Explication aux 115 Caricatures Publiées Sous le Titre De Bon Genre Depuis le Commencement du Dix-Neuvième Siècle. Paris: Chez L'Éditeur Pierre de la Mésangère 1827. <br /> <br /> Third edition with eleven additional plates not found in the first edition of 1817. <br /> <br /> Large folio 14 7/8 x 10 7/8 in; 378 x 277 mm. 4 24 pp. of descriptive text 115 hand-colored plates. Engraved by Georges-Jacques Gatine. Printed by Vassal et Essling. With a duplicate of plate no. 16 loosely inserted. Some light foxing which is mainly confined to the blank margins. <br /> <br /> Contemporary half crimson straight-grain morocco over marbled boards smooth spine elaborately tooled and lettered in gilt. Some light wear to top and bottom of spine. An excellent example of one of the rarest suites of fashion and caricature.<br /> <br /> OCLC/KVK note only four copies of this edition in library holdings worldwide no copies of the first edition and only two copies of the 1822 edition.<br /> <br /> One of the rarest suites of fashion and caricature featuring superbly colored plates. In addition to satirizing the extravagances of contemporary fashion and society the finely rendered illustrations portray a range of public entertainers-including the rope-dancing troupes of Forioso and Ravel a magic lantern show two performing dog acts Indian jugglers acrobats and four distinct aerial runways.<br /> <br /> Le Bon Genre was one of the earliest series of prints to record the social trends and leisure activities of contemporary Parisians. It is the most important fashion portfolio of its time documenting through its caricatures the rise of the modern city of Paris and the emerging middle-class bourgeois its fashions recreations and dating customs. It also has fun at visitors' expense particularly the English whose customs and fashions the French found incomprehensible and unfashionable; the years of hostility between France and England did nothing to improve relations and the French lost few opportunities to ridicule the British. Le Bon Genre's popularity influenced most of the later fashion illustrators and journals as well as the satirical albums so typical of mid-19th century France and remains a key record of French social history. Overall Le Bon Genre bears witness to the colorful post-Revolution period of Parisian society as it evolves into the early Republican era.<br /> <br /> Of particular interest is the descriptive text preceding the plates that details the content of each caricature. One is astonished and charmed by images of a trio enjoying a magic lantern show #31; three women rapturously eating sorbets #4; a trained and costumed dog act #35; a circus balancing act #91; a man who eats anything #93; a huge amusement park slide #97; and so many more enchanting engravings delicately and vividly hand-colored.<br /> <br /> "Le Bon Genre.was first published in 1817 and went through several editions. This is a record of English and French fashions since the beginning of the nineteenth century; the English fashions are more in the nature of caricatures to show how badly Englishwomen dress as compared with the Parisiennes" Vyvyan Holland Hand Coloured Fashion Plates 1770 to 1899 p. 51.<br /> <br /> "The 'Bon Genre's' first edition 104 plates appeared in 1817. The 1822 edition included eleven additional plates; a third edition was published in 1827. Its illustrations are lively and witty statements of the life of Paris since the beginning of XIXc. with a text of explanatory paragraphs rather than fashion plates" Millia Davenport The Book of Costume II p. 814.<br /> <br /> "Georges-Jacques Gatine was the leading costume engraver of his time. For many years he supplied plates for the Journal des dames. He engraved the 115 designs which make up Le bon genre a lively mélange caricaturing people and scenes of contemporary interest" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book p. 141.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Le Bon Genre's publisher and editor Pierre Joseph Antoine Le Bouc of Mésangère 1761-1830 better known by the name of Le Mésangère was a fascinating character whose eclectic career covered a very wide period from the French Revolution 1789 up to the Second Restoration 1815 -1830. First an eccleslastlc philosopher and writer then fashion journalist he was for more than thirty years editor-in-chief of Le Journal des Dames a periodical that had an enormous influence upon contemporary French standards of elegance and taste. Born in Anjou 1761 to a middle-class family Mésangère entered the order Congregation of the Brothers in 1784 and held the philosophie belles lettres Chair at the College de la Fleche. In hiding during the Terror 1793-1794 after Robesplerre's death July 28 1794 he began to be known as a writer for Parisian literary journals. He wrote Le Voyageur a Paris ou Tableau pittoresque et moral de cette capitale 1797 a book that gained a certain notoriety. In 1799 he became editor of Le Journal des Dames a magazine founded two years earlier. It reigned supreme amongst the women's magazines of the epoch. With engraver Gatine executing the designs Mésangère was the pre-eminent writer editor and publisher of works devoted to French women's fashion of his era.<br /> <br /> The contributing artists to Le Bon Genre included George Dutailly François Joseph Bosio Louis Marie Lante Horace Vernet and others but it is Mésangère the editor and publisher who guided them and Gatine the engraver who executed their designs who were and remain the stars here.<br /> <br /> Colas 2240.
